Nerdy Spoons ;)

Hey!

So I'm at a conference for high school students to come together in the capitol of this great state and pretend that we are the house of reps and the senate. It's actually really fun, but it's also a nerd conference that requires you spend four days living in a hotel in the capitol city. It's called Youth in Government, or YIG. But I don't have that many nerdy friends. I mean, I don't really have that many friends at all, but then you get into who's nerdy enough to come on this trip, and you're left with just one, which is fine, because she's my best friend. But her boyfriend is also nerdy enough to come on this trip. And he doesn't like me.

Anyway, last night, there was a dance at the conference, and guess who she (my best friend) hung out with. Not me. Him. So I was left with literally no one to talk to. I was sitting by myself at a table. But while I was sitting there feeling sorry for myself, some girls came over to me, and asked if I had a deck of playing cards. And of course, I did. (fun fact: I carry this GIANT purse, in which I carry, like EVERYTHING.) So I pulled them out, expecting them to take them and leave, but they said, "Wanna play cards with us?" Their names were Anna and Starr. We sat down, and they went and found some of their other friends, and soon enough there were ten of us sitting on the floor in the ballroom lobby playing spoons with our credentials because we didn't have any spoons. (I actually did, but not enough to play spoons with.)

But I think God sent them to me. He knew how much I felt sorry for myself, and how I was doubting the possibility that someone would actually choose me over someone else, that I am ever actually wanted. He was using this to remind me that I can still have fun, even without any of my actual friends. And He showed me that even if I'm not wanted at first, I can become wanted, assuming I find the right person. I don't know, this may be complete crap, but those girls saved my night from being a compete and utter disaster, and I know that God did that.

Also, it's really pretty early in the morning, which is kind of killing me, so if any of that didn't make sense, I apologize. Feel free to comment to express any confusion, or anything else for that matter.

Thanks!! I hope you truly seek God today!
